These ideas are hard to put into numbers, but, in my opinion, prove that NIO has a bright future.</p><p><b>BaaS: Stronger Than Ever</b></p><p>NIO and Chinese state-owned oil and gas giant Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (SHI)announced on Thursdaythe signing of a strategic partnership to build battery swap stations. Both companies posted news of their agreement on their Twitter feeds while sharing images of the unveiling of their new battery swap station 2.0 at Chaoying station in Beijing, which has now begun operating. It is the first second-generation battery swap station for the Chinese EV manufacturer, and its 201st overall, since the first was inaugurated in 2018.</p><p>Although the details and scale of the deal with NIO are not clear yet, Sinopec has stated that they aim to have 5,000 battery swap stations in their network by 2025, as they aim to transition to a higher presence in electricity and non-oil business. On NIO's side, the company’s goal, which it has described as conservative, is to have 500 battery swap stations by the end of 2021.</p><p>This is the largest so far, but not the only partnership of NIO’s in this space. A few weeks ago, NIO reached an agreement with another state-owned infrastructure company, Beijing Shoufa, to build stations in the Beijing area. NIO president Qin Lihong said on Thursday that they are aiming to add nearly 100 more third-party partners this year.</p><p>The idea of battery swap stations is that consumers can drive into the station with an uncharged battery and have it automatically replaced by a fully charged one in just a few minutes. The 2.0 version of these allows drivers to complete the battery swap without leaving their car and can perform up to 312 swaps per day.</p><p>A mass rollout of these stations is a key part of NIO’s BaaS strategy (battery as a service). With this model, customers do not purchase the battery with the car and own it, but rather pay a subscription fee to “rent” charged batteries and replace them as they become uncharged. By not including the battery, the initial purchase price of the vehicle is reduced by up to almost 20,000 USD. As more and more swap stations are deployed, the convenience gap between electric and petrol-fuelled vehicles could gradually disappear.</p><p>NIO is not alone in the battery swapping business, nor did it invent it. Israeli start-up Better Place tried to develop the concept in collaboration with Renault(OTC:RNSDF)in 2007 without much success. Today, a handful of companies around the globe are trying to deploy such systems, like Blue Park Smart Energy, a competitor in China with government influence, or American start-up Ample, which has begun operating several such stations in California, catering for fleet vehicles.</p><p>Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) started with the idea of battery swapping in 2013 but abandoned the program in 2016 in favour of its superchargers. At the time, it may have appeared like the right strategy given the limited amount of EV’s on the road. Superchargers are much more efficient than regular ones, achieving a range of up to 200 miles in 15 minutes, and they are smaller and much easier to deploy than battery swap stations. This has allowed Tesla to provide over 20,000 superchargers to its customers around the world. However, with EV presence increasing fast, the economies of scale may cause a shift in which is the most efficient of the two solutions.</p><p>It remains to be seen what will happen with regards to the standardization of these battery swaps, as for now, customers can only swap batteries at their manufacturer’s station.</p><p>Though not the creator of the technology, NIO appears to be moving fastest towards dominating what could be the future of EV refueling, and it could be shaping up as a supplier of BaaS services to other manufacturers, increasing the scope of its business within the industry. The company already has an agreement with Ford Motor Company (F) to allow their Mustang-E in China touse these battery swappingstations too.</p><p>This step sets NIO apart from the competition and puts it on the road to be much more than an EV manufacturer, by also becoming a supplier of critical infrastructure in what will soon be the largest economy in the world.</p><p><b>Remarkable Management</b></p><p>One thing we don't hear a lot about is NIO's management. In the classic China v U.S battle it’s easy to assume that the American companies are the ones bringing innovation and cutting-edge ideas, while the Chinese can only compete in lower production costs through cheaper labour. But the Chinese culture and economy also reward entrepreneurship, and no more proof is needed than the fact that Beijing now boasts themost billionaires of any cityin the world.</p><p>NIO's CEO, William Li, is also an example of this. He went to Pekin University, perhaps the most prestigious one in China, and majored in sociology. However, he also studied law and computer science and became the only systems analyst among the liberal art students of Pekin University.</p><p>Li started his first business at 21 but found real success four years later with Bitauto Holdings Limited (BITA), which is a portal that provides consumers with in-depth information about cars. He was the CEO of Bitauto from 2005-2013, during which time the company went public and achieved over $1 billion valuations. In 2014, Li started NIO, and here we are today.</p><p>What I like the most about Li, is that he has experience in the automobile sector. In fact, he may have acquired the most important experience of all; knowing what the consumer wants.</p><p>Li has a proven track record of success and laser focus on NIO. I think it is this understanding of the consumer which will position NIO on a different level to its competition. Much like Apple Inc. (AAPL), NIO is investing in creating a differentiated product and building a strong community.</p><p><b>Doing Things The Apple Way</b></p><p>Following on from the previous point, I think NIO is positioning itself very well in terms of consumer demand. Vehicles, like phones, are a statement about who you are, and NIO is building a brand that people can identify with. Li has already stated that he views Audi(OTCPK:AUDVF)and BMW(OTCPK:BMWYY)as their real competition. In other words, luxury cars. Interestingly, luxury brands outperformed mainstream models in 2020, capturing 44$ of the market share, compared to 40% the year before. While Tesla, for example, islowering the priceof its cars NIO has kept its prices steady and is clearly tackling the high-end of the market through some key measures.</p><p>First and foremost, the implementation of BaaS offers a lot of value and convenience, especially in crowded Chinese cities. Also, NIO has been rolling out models aggressively. The company already has the EC6, ES6, ES8, and ET7 on the market. Notice too how the models are named sequentially, using clear language. This gives consumers the option of choice and easy comparability. Can you think of another company that does this?</p><p>Also, NIO is taking the Apple store concept to the next level. Anyone who owns or has pre-ordered a NIO getsaccess to NIO Houses. At their core level, these are convenient charging locations, but these spaces are also designed as exclusive lounge areas, office spaces, and anything the customer wants. Lastly, to reinforce this idea of an exclusive club, NIO has its own App too.</p><p>So NIO has a very clearly defined strategy of targeting the luxury segment and creating a community of devoted fans, much like Apple. Given the fact thatChina is creating millionaires fasterthan any other country, I think this is a solid strategy.</p><p><b>Takeaway</b></p><p>In conclusion, NIO has key factors coming into play that make it a compelling investment. Their BaaS model has the potential to bring in significant revenue, and I like the direction William Li is taking the company. He seems to know what consumers want, and that is in any business the most important factor. I remain bullish on NIO and stand by themost recent valuationI made of the company.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Reasons NIO Is My Top EV Pick</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Reasons NIO Is My Top EV Pick\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-19 13:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4419650-3-reasons-nio-is-top-ev-pick><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryNIO just finalized an agreement with Sinopec to build 5,000 battery swap stations.NIO has remarkable management with experience in the auto industry.NIO is differentiating its product much like...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4419650-3-reasons-nio-is-top-ev-pick\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NIO":"蔚来"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4419650-3-reasons-nio-is-top-ev-pick","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1180983782","content_text":"SummaryNIO just finalized an agreement with Sinopec to build 5,000 battery swap stations.NIO has remarkable management with experience in the auto industry.NIO is differentiating its product much like Apple did in the past.Thesis summaryIn mylatest articleon NIO Inc.

Many see them as cheap, based on 2019 results. Others see them greatly exceeding those results due to pent-up demand.</p>\n<p>It’s a dream you can feel. Roads are crowded again. Plus, savings rates were high during the pandemic for those who had jobs they could do from home. Much of that money will be spent this year with the economic reopening.</p>\n<p>Travel companies should benefit from both efficiency and rising prices post-pandemic. But which stocks are right for you? For this article, I’ve looked at eight of the best-known names. My views on them vary. Generally, I think the companies that were strongest going in should be stronger coming out. Other companies are speculative and have already had good runs through early 2021.</p>\n<p>But I’m just the writer. You’re the decider. There should be profits coming throughout the sector, but your mileage as an investor will vary with where you decide to put your money.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Southwest Airlines</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LUV</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Airbnb</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ABNB</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Disney</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DIS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Royal Caribbean</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RCL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Delta Air Lines</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DAL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Tripadvisor</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TRIP</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>United Airlines</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>UAL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Carnival</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CCL</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Southwest (LUV):&nbsp; The Strongest Airline</b></p>\n<p>The strongest airline going into the pandemic was&nbsp;<b>Southwest Airlines</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>LUV</u></b>). It’s also the strongest one&nbsp;coming out of it.</p>\n<p>But analysts know this. That’s part of why Southwest is also the most expensive airline stock. Its price of about $62 per share today is above where it was before the pandemic hit, before it suspended its 18 cent quarterly dividend.</p>\n<p>LUV stock is strong because, while it added $9 billion in long-term debt to its balance sheet during 2020, it ended the year with $13 billion in cash. It has also already begun&nbsp;calling back pilots&nbsp;for the summer flying season.</p>\n<p>One of the biggest risks in the stock before the pandemic, though, was Southwest’s dependence on&nbsp;<b>Boeing</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BA</u></b>) aircraft, especially the troubled 737-MAX. The company has doubled down on that this year,ordering 100 more&nbsp;of the planes. CEO Gary Kelly says he has&nbsp;complete faith&nbsp;in the aircraft, but some have already been&nbsp;grounded again&nbsp;after Boeing reported electrical problems.</p>\n<p>That said, Southwest is also changing its route structure post-pandemic, focusing on smaller vacation markets like Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and&nbsp;dramatically increasing&nbsp;the number of flights to Austin, Texas. It’s this ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions that makes Southwest one of the best reopening stocks to buy for post-pandemic growth.</p>\n<p><b>Is Airbnb (ABNB) the New King of Travel?</b></p>\n<p>Before the pandemic,<b>Booking Holdings</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>BKNG</u></b>), which began life as Priceline, was&nbsp;the unquestioned king&nbsp;of the travel market. However, there’s a new king in the post-pandemic era: Airbnb.</p>\n<p>Airbnb only came public in 2020, but ABNB stock rocketed out of the gate. Shares were offered&nbsp;at $68 each. However, they started trading at $146 on Dec. 10. Since then, they’re up another 21%, even after investors took profit when they briefly rose over $200 per share in February.</p>\n<p>But Airbnb may now be overvalued. Currently, it has a market capitalization of $107 billion on 2020 sales of $3.4 billion. Even if you write that year off, its selling at over 22 times its 2019 revenue of $4.8 billion.</p>\n<p>Airbnb specializes in renting out bedrooms, apartments and personal homes. That’s the promise. But as the company has grown, professionals and investors have moved in. Just 5% of owners now control&nbsp;one-third&nbsp;of all listings. Additionally, some cities are fighting Airbnb. This strict regulation,especially in tourist cities, could dramatically slow its growth.</p>\n<p>Rivals aren’t sitting on their hands, either. Booking has a comparable&nbsp;version&nbsp;of Airbnb and&nbsp;<b>Expedia</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>EXPE</u></b>) is heavily advertising its version, Vrbo. Plus, Airbnb’s new “Experiences” business, which some analysts consider to be a&nbsp;growth catalyst, is a copy of something Tripadvisor&nbsp;has been doing&nbsp;for years.</p>\n<p>It’s possible that this company will keep rising as one of the reopening stocks. It’s also possible it won’t.</p>\n<p><b>Travel Gives Disney (DIS) a Second Stage of Growth</b></p>\n<p>Disney has been a&nbsp;standout during the pandemic. Shares of DIS stock are up 77% over the past one year, thanks mainly to the success of its streaming strategy. It now has&nbsp;some 137 million&nbsp;paying customers across its various streaming services like Hulu, ESPN+ and&nbsp;Disney+.</p>\n<p>Now, it’s possible that travel will add a second stage to Disney’s rocketing success. Before the pandemic, its travel and resorts business represented some 40% of the company’s revenue. Most of that was shut down in early 2020. Now, though, it’s coming back. As it does, revenue should quickly recover from the&nbsp;22% hit&nbsp;Disney suffered in 2020.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, many analysts think those gains&nbsp;may already be in the stock. Shares were hit by profit-taking in&nbsp;early 2021&nbsp;and now trade below their February highs.</p>\n<p>Still, if you’re looking for long-term value, most analysts still believe in Disney as one of the reopening stocks. Of the 20 analysts following it at&nbsp;<i>Tipranks,</i>17 say&nbsp;it’s a buy.<b>Bank of America</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BAC</u></b>) is especially optimistic, despite the shares now trading for&nbsp;about 135 times&nbsp;levered annual cash flow. It was selling at around 25 times before the pandemic hit.</p>\n<p><b>Royal Caribbean (RCL) Is the Most Investable Cruise Line</b></p>\n<p>During the latter part of the last decade, Royal Caribbean chose to grow its fleet of ships at a sustainable rate. It’s now benefitting from that strategy, becoming the most“investable”of the cruise line stocks. Right now, shares of RCL stock are up 125% for the past one year, as optimism grows for reopening stocks.</p>\n<p>Royal Caribbean owns Celebrity and Silversea cruises as well as its namesake fleet. It completed the purchase of Silversea last year, then sold Azamara, a luxury brand,to private equity. It also took a Spanish line called Pullmantur bankrupt and hopes to relaunch it later this year.</p>\n<p>While the company’s net debt rose 42% during 2020&nbsp;to $16.45 billion, the company had $4.4 billion in cash at the end of December. It’s also loaning $40 million&nbsp;to travel agents&nbsp;to get them through and hopes to return to full U.S. service&nbsp;by November. Meanwhile, pent-up demand is so great that it’s already filling ships in Singapore for“cruises to nowhere.”</p>\n<p><b>Delta (DAL) Has Yet to Regain Its Highs</b></p>\n<p>While Southwest now sells for more than it did before the pandemic, shares of Delta Air Lines&nbsp;remain&nbsp;about 20% below&nbsp;where they were. Today, DAL stock trades for almost $47.</p>\n<p>That’s because, while domestic travel is starting to return to normal and Delta&nbsp;plans on filling its middle seats&nbsp;in May, international travel remains slow. Even domestic travel is running on optimism. About 1.6 million people flew one day&nbsp;in early April. Before the pandemic, back in 2019, that number was well over 2 million on the same day.</p>\n<p>Despite the government’s turning some of its pandemic loans into grants, Delta ended 2020 with&nbsp;$33 billion in long term debt, against assets of $71 billion. Moreover, Delta had an&nbsp;adjusted loss&nbsp;of $3.55 per share for its first-quarter earnings.</p>\n<p>Once Delta has positive free cash flow again,<i>InvestorPlace’s</i>&nbsp;Mark Hake expects the stock to&nbsp;take off. Most analysts don’t, however. Now, only about half the analysts tracked by&nbsp;<i>Tipranks</i>&nbsp;call it&nbsp;a buy, with an average price target of $56.50.</p>\n<p>All in all, while Delta has&nbsp;survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.</p>\n<p>All in all, while Delta has&nbsp;survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.</p>\n<p><b>Trip Advisor (TRIP) Has a Plan for the New Normal</b></p>\n<p>Tripadvisor has a plan for big profits in the post-pandemic world. Basically, it wants to become the&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) of travel.</p>\n<p>That doesn’t mean running the whole travel business. Instead, it means charging customers $99 per year for special discounts and perks on rooms. It calls this&nbsp;new program&nbsp;Tripadvisor Plus.</p>\n<p>This idea could be a win-win-win. Hotels and resorts will get loyal customers at a discount. Customers who sign up will get discounts and perks. And Tripadvisor will get cash for running the program.</p>\n<p>Right now, though, the company badly needs investors to forget 2020, when it lost $2.14 per share on revenue of just $604 million. Rather, it wants them to remember 2019, when the company made $126 million, or 91 cents per share, on&nbsp;revenue of $1.56 billion. Essentially, they want a mulligan for the past year.</p>\n<p>But 2020&nbsp;<i>did happen</i>— and it did substantial financial damage at that. That said, while 2021 should start off slow, results should also rise sharply once the new program’s revenues start coming in. So, if you believe in it’s new program’s pitch, TRIP stock maybe one of the better reopening stocks for you.</p>\n<p><b>Speculators Are Now Betting on United Airlines (UAL)</b></p>\n<p>Investment often reminds me of westward migration; the speculators come in first, then come the investors. Right now, UAL stock is&nbsp;benefitting from speculation.</p>\n<p>While Southwest Airlines has passed its 2020 high and Delta Air Lines&nbsp;is approaching it, United is just halfway back. Its market cap of $18 billion is less than half its 2019 revenue of&nbsp;$43 billion.</p>\n<p>The airline should survive, but it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Analysts expect a&nbsp;first-quarter loss&nbsp;of $6.23 per share. The airline’s bond rating is also&nbsp;below investment grade&nbsp;and its most recent debt issue carried an&nbsp;interest rate&nbsp;of 4.875%. Still, speculators have been rushing in as the airline said it was probably&nbsp;cash flow positive&nbsp;in March.</p>\n<p>Going beyond speculative gains, however, will mean regaining the&nbsp;trust of employees, the government and passengers, which was not helped by an engineblowing out&nbsp;back in February.</p>\n<p>As a result, analysts are divided on United, with only about half of them saying it’s a buy on&nbsp;<i>Tipranks</i>. Even&nbsp;<i>InvestorPlace’s</i>&nbsp;Louis Navellier calls this one of the reopening stocks“a poor way to make money.”</p>\n<p><b>Will Cruising Resume Soon Enough for Carnival (CCL)?</b></p>\n<p>Of all the reopening stocks on this list, CCL stock stands out as&nbsp;a cautionary tale.</p>\n<p>Before the pandemic, Carnival was buying boats with both hands, planning to add&nbsp;22 new liners&nbsp;by 2025. Basically, it was putting all of its cash flow to work.</p>\n<p>Then the music stopped. While based in Miami, Carnival has its legal home in Panama. This made it ineligible for pandemic relief. It was only thanks to the Federal Reserve’s expansion of the money supply that Carnival was able to survive. But the price was steep. One&nbsp;$4 billion bond&nbsp;carries an interest rate of 11.5%, while another $1.75 billion bond is convertible into stock, diluting shareholders.</p>\n<p>Now in April, though, shares are back to around $28 with a market cap of $32 billion after 2019 revenue of $20.8 billion.

Many see them as cheap, based on 2019 results. Others see them greatly exceeding those results due to pent-up demand.\nIt’s a dream you can feel. Roads are crowded again. Plus, savings rates were high during the pandemic for those who had jobs they could do from home. Much of that money will be spent this year with the economic reopening.\nTravel companies should benefit from both efficiency and rising prices post-pandemic. But which stocks are right for you? For this article, I’ve looked at eight of the best-known names. My views on them vary. Generally, I think the companies that were strongest going in should be stronger coming out. Other companies are speculative and have already had good runs through early 2021.\nBut I’m just the writer. You’re the decider. There should be profits coming throughout the sector, but your mileage as an investor will vary with where you decide to put your money.\n\nSouthwest Airlines(NYSE:LUV)\nAirbnb(NASDAQ:ABNB)\nDisney(NYSE:DIS)\nRoyal Caribbean(NYSE:RCL)\nDelta Air Lines(NYSE:DAL)\nTripadvisor(NASDAQ:TRIP)\nUnited Airlines(NASDAQ:UAL)\nCarnival(NYSE:CCL)\n\nSouthwest (LUV):  The Strongest Airline\nThe strongest airline going into the pandemic was Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV). It’s also the strongest one coming out of it.\nBut analysts know this. That’s part of why Southwest is also the most expensive airline stock. Its price of about $62 per share today is above where it was before the pandemic hit, before it suspended its 18 cent quarterly dividend.\nLUV stock is strong because, while it added $9 billion in long-term debt to its balance sheet during 2020, it ended the year with $13 billion in cash. It has also already begun calling back pilots for the summer flying season.\nOne of the biggest risks in the stock before the pandemic, though, was Southwest’s dependence on Boeing (NYSE:BA) aircraft, especially the troubled 737-MAX. The company has doubled down on that this year,ordering 100 more of the planes. CEO Gary Kelly says he has complete faith in the aircraft, but some have already been grounded again after Boeing reported electrical problems.\nThat said, Southwest is also changing its route structure post-pandemic, focusing on smaller vacation markets like Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and dramatically increasing the number of flights to Austin, Texas. It’s this ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions that makes Southwest one of the best reopening stocks to buy for post-pandemic growth.\nIs Airbnb (ABNB) the New King of Travel?\nBefore the pandemic,Booking Holdings (NASDAQ:BKNG), which began life as Priceline, was the unquestioned king of the travel market. However, there’s a new king in the post-pandemic era: Airbnb.\nAirbnb only came public in 2020, but ABNB stock rocketed out of the gate. Shares were offered at $68 each. However, they started trading at $146 on Dec. 10. Since then, they’re up another 21%, even after investors took profit when they briefly rose over $200 per share in February.\nBut Airbnb may now be overvalued. Currently, it has a market capitalization of $107 billion on 2020 sales of $3.4 billion. Even if you write that year off, its selling at over 22 times its 2019 revenue of $4.8 billion.\nAirbnb specializes in renting out bedrooms, apartments and personal homes. That’s the promise. But as the company has grown, professionals and investors have moved in. Just 5% of owners now control one-third of all listings. Additionally, some cities are fighting Airbnb. This strict regulation,especially in tourist cities, could dramatically slow its growth.\nRivals aren’t sitting on their hands, either. Booking has a comparable version of Airbnb and Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE) is heavily advertising its version, Vrbo. Plus, Airbnb’s new “Experiences” business, which some analysts consider to be a growth catalyst, is a copy of something Tripadvisor has been doing for years.\nIt’s possible that this company will keep rising as one of the reopening stocks. It’s also possible it won’t.\nTravel Gives Disney (DIS) a Second Stage of Growth\nDisney has been a standout during the pandemic. Shares of DIS stock are up 77% over the past one year, thanks mainly to the success of its streaming strategy. It now has some 137 million paying customers across its various streaming services like Hulu, ESPN+ and Disney+.\nNow, it’s possible that travel will add a second stage to Disney’s rocketing success. Before the pandemic, its travel and resorts business represented some 40% of the company’s revenue. Most of that was shut down in early 2020. Now, though, it’s coming back. As it does, revenue should quickly recover from the 22% hit Disney suffered in 2020.\nUnfortunately, many analysts think those gains may already be in the stock. Shares were hit by profit-taking in early 2021 and now trade below their February highs.\nStill, if you’re looking for long-term value, most analysts still believe in Disney as one of the reopening stocks. Of the 20 analysts following it at Tipranks,17 say it’s a buy.Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) is especially optimistic, despite the shares now trading for about 135 times levered annual cash flow. It was selling at around 25 times before the pandemic hit.\nRoyal Caribbean (RCL) Is the Most Investable Cruise Line\nDuring the latter part of the last decade, Royal Caribbean chose to grow its fleet of ships at a sustainable rate. It’s now benefitting from that strategy, becoming the most“investable”of the cruise line stocks. Right now, shares of RCL stock are up 125% for the past one year, as optimism grows for reopening stocks.\nRoyal Caribbean owns Celebrity and Silversea cruises as well as its namesake fleet. It completed the purchase of Silversea last year, then sold Azamara, a luxury brand,to private equity. It also took a Spanish line called Pullmantur bankrupt and hopes to relaunch it later this year.\nWhile the company’s net debt rose 42% during 2020 to $16.45 billion, the company had $4.4 billion in cash at the end of December. It’s also loaning $40 million to travel agents to get them through and hopes to return to full U.S. service by November. Meanwhile, pent-up demand is so great that it’s already filling ships in Singapore for“cruises to nowhere.”\nDelta (DAL) Has Yet to Regain Its Highs\nWhile Southwest now sells for more than it did before the pandemic, shares of Delta Air Lines remain about 20% below where they were. Today, DAL stock trades for almost $47.\nThat’s because, while domestic travel is starting to return to normal and Delta plans on filling its middle seats in May, international travel remains slow. Even domestic travel is running on optimism. About 1.6 million people flew one day in early April. Before the pandemic, back in 2019, that number was well over 2 million on the same day.\nDespite the government’s turning some of its pandemic loans into grants, Delta ended 2020 with $33 billion in long term debt, against assets of $71 billion. Moreover, Delta had an adjusted loss of $3.55 per share for its first-quarter earnings.\nOnce Delta has positive free cash flow again,InvestorPlace’s Mark Hake expects the stock to take off. Most analysts don’t, however. Now, only about half the analysts tracked by Tipranks call it a buy, with an average price target of $56.50.\nAll in all, while Delta has survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.\nAll in all, while Delta has survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.\nTrip Advisor (TRIP) Has a Plan for the New Normal\nTripadvisor has a plan for big profits in the post-pandemic world. Basically, it wants to become the Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) of travel.\nThat doesn’t mean running the whole travel business. Instead, it means charging customers $99 per year for special discounts and perks on rooms. It calls this new program Tripadvisor Plus.\nThis idea could be a win-win-win. Hotels and resorts will get loyal customers at a discount. Customers who sign up will get discounts and perks. And Tripadvisor will get cash for running the program.\nRight now, though, the company badly needs investors to forget 2020, when it lost $2.14 per share on revenue of just $604 million. Rather, it wants them to remember 2019, when the company made $126 million, or 91 cents per share, on revenue of $1.56 billion. Essentially, they want a mulligan for the past year.\nBut 2020 did happen— and it did substantial financial damage at that. That said, while 2021 should start off slow, results should also rise sharply once the new program’s revenues start coming in. So, if you believe in it’s new program’s pitch, TRIP stock maybe one of the better reopening stocks for you.\nSpeculators Are Now Betting on United Airlines (UAL)\nInvestment often reminds me of westward migration; the speculators come in first, then come the investors. Right now, UAL stock is benefitting from speculation.\nWhile Southwest Airlines has passed its 2020 high and Delta Air Lines is approaching it, United is just halfway back. Its market cap of $18 billion is less than half its 2019 revenue of $43 billion.\nThe airline should survive, but it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Analysts expect a first-quarter loss of $6.23 per share. The airline’s bond rating is also below investment grade and its most recent debt issue carried an interest rate of 4.875%. Still, speculators have been rushing in as the airline said it was probably cash flow positive in March.\nGoing beyond speculative gains, however, will mean regaining the trust of employees, the government and passengers, which was not helped by an engineblowing out back in February.\nAs a result, analysts are divided on United, with only about half of them saying it’s a buy on Tipranks. Even InvestorPlace’s Louis Navellier calls this one of the reopening stocks“a poor way to make money.”\nWill Cruising Resume Soon Enough for Carnival (CCL)?\nOf all the reopening stocks on this list, CCL stock stands out as a cautionary tale.\nBefore the pandemic, Carnival was buying boats with both hands, planning to add 22 new liners by 2025. Basically, it was putting all of its cash flow to work.\nThen the music stopped. While based in Miami, Carnival has its legal home in Panama. This made it ineligible for pandemic relief. It was only thanks to the Federal Reserve’s expansion of the money supply that Carnival was able to survive. But the price was steep. One $4 billion bond carries an interest rate of 11.5%, while another $1.75 billion bond is convertible into stock, diluting shareholders.\nNow in April, though, shares are back to around $28 with a market cap of $32 billion after 2019 revenue of $20.8 billion. That’s still less than the $57 billion in assets it carries on the books, mainly in the form of “property and equipment” like its boats.\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now believes cruising could resume this summer. That should save Carnival the company. But it still leaves precious little for shareholders of CCL stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":386,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":347293364,"gmtCreate":1618495766958,"gmtModify":1634292537887,"author":{"id":"3577945403783556","authorId":"3577945403783556","name":"JibChut","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa8cfb88708e8026b7e42a732e36cff0","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577945403783556","authorIdStr":"3577945403783556"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nio as a strong&nbsp;#2 is good!","listText":"Nio as a strong&nbsp;#2 is good!","text":"Nio as a strong #2 is good!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/347293364","repostId":"1193545670","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1193545670","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618454983,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1193545670?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-15 10:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Electric Vehicle Stocks Betting Big on the Chinese Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1193545670","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"With 1.3 million electric vehicles sold there in 2020, China is the frontier of EVs\nSource: Shutters","content":"<p>With 1.3 million electric vehicles sold there in 2020, China is the frontier of EVs</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59bdc81d796b158d4291af2dea795a4f\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"576\"><span>Source: Shutterstock</span></p>\n<p>President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan should provide some much-needed relief. Recently, though,<i>InvestorPlace’s</i>&nbsp;Sarah Smith&nbsp;wrote an excellent piece&nbsp;on 21 companies that will especially benefit from the bill.Electric vehicle stocks&nbsp;were among the initiative’s biggest net beneficiaries.</p>\n<p>Unlike several other industries, electric vehicles (EVs) did not necessarily need a massive boost. Yes, we did have a market selloff that led to several risky EV plays losing some steam. But that was a temporary blip, one that withdrew to the background once Biden announced his plan.</p>\n<p>On Mar. 26, UBS Group released a research note&nbsp;reaffirming this view. The Swiss multinational investment bank outlined three reasons why the “EV market still has room to run.”</p>\n<p>First, while auto sales declined in 2020, global electric vehicle sales still increased by 43%. Secondly, governments around the world are enforcing tighter regulations to help EV sales increase. And finally, technological advances and a change in consumer preferences also serve as important tailwinds for the industry.</p>\n<p>That said, though, the real wild card in the equation is China. It’s now&nbsp;the world’s biggest EV market&nbsp;and has fared quite well despite the pandemic. And unsurprisingly, some of the biggest electric vehicle stocks are from there. That’s why this list has some of the biggest names in the EV space which are betting big on that market.</p>\n<p>So, without further ado, here are seven EV stocks that are focusing on China:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Nio</b>(NYSE:<b><u>NIO</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Xpeng</b>(NYSE:<b><u>XPEV</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Li Auto</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>LI</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>General Motors</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>BYD Company</b>&nbsp;(OCTMKTS:<b><u>BYDDF</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Ford</b>(NYSE:<b><u>F</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Electric Vehicle Stocks Focusing on China: Tesla (TSLA)</b></p>\n<p>Tesla has become the poster child of the equity bull market. Nevertheless, TSLA stock remains the preeminent name among electric vehicle stocks.</p>\n<p>Last year, the American electric-vehicle and clean-energy company delivered 499,550 vehicles,slightly missing its guidance&nbsp;of 500,000 vehicles. Still, that’s an excellent figure which stands head and shoulders above its peers.</p>\n<p>China was a major driver for Tesla’s growth, with sales&nbsp;more than doubling to $6.66 billion, representing almost one-fifth of Tesla’s overall sales volume.</p>\n<p>In 2019, Chinese sales represented just 12% of the overall sales pie for Tesla, so it’s certainly moving in the right direction. It also helps that&nbsp;Tesla has a local factory&nbsp;in Shanghai and that Elon Musk has enjoyed an&nbsp;excellent relationship&nbsp;with Chinese state authorities thus far.</p>\n<p>Moving forward, Tesla’s main area of concern will be making sure it maintains its top position in the Chinese market. As we will get to later in this list, there are several competitors chomping at the bit to get a slice of the overall pie.</p>\n<p><b>Nio (NIO)</b></p>\n<p>Our next entry on this list of electric vehicle stocks is NIO stock, the closest competition Tesla has in China. Unlike Elon Musk’s billion-dollar baby, Nio is extremely well entrenched in the Chinese market and enjoys a strategic relationship with the government that even Musk probably envies.</p>\n<p>At the height of the pandemic, the Chinese EV maker&nbsp;inked a $1 billion bailout&nbsp;with the city of Hefei, the capital of the Anhui province. In exchange for the cash injection, it agreed to build a new subsidiary under the name Nio China. Additionally, Nio agreed to build a facility in Hefei to serve as headquarters for the subsidiary. A steeper price, however, was that the Hefei investor group now owns 24% of Nio China.</p>\n<p>But focusing on the positives, the company does have excellent delivery numbers. For example, there were&nbsp;7,257 vehicle deliveries in March, bringing total deliveries for the quarter to 20,060, a new record. This marks a continuation of the company’s excellent performance since. All in all, Nio has delivered stellar quarterly results for quite some time now.</p>\n<p><b>Xpeng (XPEV)</b></p>\n<p>Next up on this list of electric vehicle stocks is XPEV stock.</p>\n<p>Although Nio had a great quarter, Xpeng stole a majority of the headlines. In the first quarter of 2021, the company&nbsp;delivered 13,340 vehicles, beating its guidance of 12,500 for the period. Moreover, there were 5,102 deliveries split almost evenly between the company’s P7 sedan and G3 SUV in March.</p>\n<p>Much like its other Chinese counterparts, Xpeng is having a ball of a time. Its sales numbers remain steady while loss declines on the road to profitability. In Q4, the&nbsp;net loss came in at 787.4 million yuan&nbsp;($120.7 million) versus a 1.15 billion yuan deficit in the third quarter and a 997.1 million yuan loss in Q4 2019.</p>\n<p>With Xpeng’s performance continuing in this explosive manner, it’s only a matter of time before we see positive earnings per share (EPS) numbers. What’s more, much like Nio, the company has a strong connection with the Chinese government. It recently&nbsp;received $76.9 million&nbsp;from the Guangdong provincial government.</p>\n<p>Much like the other provinces in the country, Guangdong wants to accelerate the shift towards electric cars. What better way to do that than partnering up with a leading firm like Xpeng.</p>\n<p><b>Li Auto (LI)</b></p>\n<p>Another Chinese EV maker that has its shares listed on a U.S. exchange is Li Auto. This company has also been an excellent performer. Somehow, though, LI stock does not get the same kind of love we see with Nio and Xpeng. Regardless, this pick of the electric vehicle stocks is a solid investment — one that is currently trading at almost half of its 52-week high.</p>\n<p>Based in Beijing with manufacturing facilities in Changzhou, Li Auto reported a&nbsp;238.6 % year-over-year (YOY) increase&nbsp;for its Li ONE deliveries in March. That brought total deliveries for the first quarter to 12,579, a YOY gain of 334.4%. Expect this momentum to continue for the company.</p>\n<p>But that’s not the only good thing behind Li; the Chinese EV manufacturer also has an edge because the Li-One is a<i>hybrid</i>vehicle.</p>\n<p>Yes, China is aggressively building out its EV capacity. However, charging stations are still somewhat sparse in China. So, in some ways Li Auto’s vehicle is a more attractive and convenient option for the middle-class consumers of the country.</p>\n<p><b>General Motors (GM)</b></p>\n<p>Perhaps it seems strange that we have gotten this far without talking about any of the major U.S. companies making waves in China, apart from Tesla. Well, that’s the state of the market, unfortunately. In China, foreign companies often have a tough time making inroads.</p>\n<p>However, there are a few electric vehicle stocks that have made some progress. GM is one of those names. The iconic American carmaker actually&nbsp;delivered 2.9 million vehicles&nbsp;in the country last year, down 6.2% YOY but still an excellent return.</p>\n<p>Another bright spot for GM stock is that the company’s sales recovered at a double-digit clip in the second half of last year. Chinese sales jumped 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months of 2020.</p>\n<p>General Motors has had a long-time presence in the region, too, having&nbsp;joint ventures&nbsp;with firms like state-owned&nbsp;<b>SAIC Motor Corp</b>, for instance.</p>\n<p>But let’s talk specifically about the EV part of the business. In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp and another partner, SGMW. The latter makes the Hongguang Mini EV, a popular two-door micro electric vehicle. It is the&nbsp;most sold EV model in China. So, with a foothold in this subsegment of the market, GM has all the incentive to move forward and expand further.</p>\n<p><b>BYD (BYDDF)</b></p>\n<p>Our next entry on this list of electric vehicle stocks is a conglomerate in every sense of the word. It has its fingers in everything from energy storage to battery-powered bicycles to buses, batteries and most recently face masks.</p>\n<p>Also, unlike some of its peers on this list, the company is profitable. So, there are no surprises why Warren Buffet likes this company. Currently,<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BRK-A</u></b>,NYSE:<b><u>BRK-B</u></b>) holds an 8.2% stake in BYD.</p>\n<p>But that’s not all. In March, BYD also managed to beat out both Nio and Xpeng in sales. Nio reported delivery of 7,257 units and Xpeng sold 5,102 units last month. Meanwhile, BYD delivered&nbsp;over 23,000 units&nbsp;for the same period, raising Q1 deliveries to 53,380 vehicles. Moreover, last year, BYD unveiled several new offerings, including its&nbsp;Han&nbsp;and Tang models.</p>\n<p>Overall, there are plenty of positive catalysts for BYD stock. They make this one of the best electric vehicle stocks out there.</p>\n<p><b>Ford</b>&nbsp;<b>(F)</b></p>\n<p>Let’s face it: Ford has been in trouble for a while. The company’s shares of all of its key markets have decreased over the last five years. However, there are silver linings that should help push this American automaker forward.</p>\n<p>Firstly, CEO Jim Farley has laid out an aggressive strategy of revitalizing the brand. Farley is an insider with extensive experience at the company. Plus, before his time with Ford, he worked at&nbsp;<b>Toyota</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>TM</u></b>) and was one of the leading figures behind the company’s Scion product launch.</p>\n<p>Farley’s approach is paying dividends thus far.

Recently, though,InvestorPlace’s Sarah Smith wrote an excellent piece on 21 companies that will especially benefit from the bill.Electric vehicle stocks were among the initiative’s biggest net beneficiaries.\nUnlike several other industries, electric vehicles (EVs) did not necessarily need a massive boost. Yes, we did have a market selloff that led to several risky EV plays losing some steam. But that was a temporary blip, one that withdrew to the background once Biden announced his plan.\nOn Mar. 26, UBS Group released a research note reaffirming this view. The Swiss multinational investment bank outlined three reasons why the “EV market still has room to run.”\nFirst, while auto sales declined in 2020, global electric vehicle sales still increased by 43%. Secondly, governments around the world are enforcing tighter regulations to help EV sales increase. And finally, technological advances and a change in consumer preferences also serve as important tailwinds for the industry.\nThat said, though, the real wild card in the equation is China. It’s now the world’s biggest EV market and has fared quite well despite the pandemic. And unsurprisingly, some of the biggest electric vehicle stocks are from there. That’s why this list has some of the biggest names in the EV space which are betting big on that market.\nSo, without further ado, here are seven EV stocks that are focusing on China:\n\nTesla(NASDAQ:TSLA)\nNio(NYSE:NIO)\nXpeng(NYSE:XPEV)\nLi Auto(NASDAQ:LI)\nGeneral Motors(NYSE:GM)\nBYD Company (OCTMKTS:BYDDF)\nFord(NYSE:F)\n\nElectric Vehicle Stocks Focusing on China: Tesla (TSLA)\nTesla has become the poster child of the equity bull market. Nevertheless, TSLA stock remains the preeminent name among electric vehicle stocks.\nLast year, the American electric-vehicle and clean-energy company delivered 499,550 vehicles,slightly missing its guidance of 500,000 vehicles. Still, that’s an excellent figure which stands head and shoulders above its peers.\nChina was a major driver for Tesla’s growth, with sales more than doubling to $6.66 billion, representing almost one-fifth of Tesla’s overall sales volume.\nIn 2019, Chinese sales represented just 12% of the overall sales pie for Tesla, so it’s certainly moving in the right direction. It also helps that Tesla has a local factory in Shanghai and that Elon Musk has enjoyed an excellent relationship with Chinese state authorities thus far.\nMoving forward, Tesla’s main area of concern will be making sure it maintains its top position in the Chinese market. As we will get to later in this list, there are several competitors chomping at the bit to get a slice of the overall pie.\nNio (NIO)\nOur next entry on this list of electric vehicle stocks is NIO stock, the closest competition Tesla has in China. Unlike Elon Musk’s billion-dollar baby, Nio is extremely well entrenched in the Chinese market and enjoys a strategic relationship with the government that even Musk probably envies.\nAt the height of the pandemic, the Chinese EV maker inked a $1 billion bailout with the city of Hefei, the capital of the Anhui province. In exchange for the cash injection, it agreed to build a new subsidiary under the name Nio China. Additionally, Nio agreed to build a facility in Hefei to serve as headquarters for the subsidiary. A steeper price, however, was that the Hefei investor group now owns 24% of Nio China.\nBut focusing on the positives, the company does have excellent delivery numbers. For example, there were 7,257 vehicle deliveries in March, bringing total deliveries for the quarter to 20,060, a new record. This marks a continuation of the company’s excellent performance since. All in all, Nio has delivered stellar quarterly results for quite some time now.\nXpeng (XPEV)\nNext up on this list of electric vehicle stocks is XPEV stock.\nAlthough Nio had a great quarter, Xpeng stole a majority of the headlines. In the first quarter of 2021, the company delivered 13,340 vehicles, beating its guidance of 12,500 for the period. Moreover, there were 5,102 deliveries split almost evenly between the company’s P7 sedan and G3 SUV in March.\nMuch like its other Chinese counterparts, Xpeng is having a ball of a time. Its sales numbers remain steady while loss declines on the road to profitability. In Q4, the net loss came in at 787.4 million yuan ($120.7 million) versus a 1.15 billion yuan deficit in the third quarter and a 997.1 million yuan loss in Q4 2019.\nWith Xpeng’s performance continuing in this explosive manner, it’s only a matter of time before we see positive earnings per share (EPS) numbers. What’s more, much like Nio, the company has a strong connection with the Chinese government. It recently received $76.9 million from the Guangdong provincial government.\nMuch like the other provinces in the country, Guangdong wants to accelerate the shift towards electric cars. What better way to do that than partnering up with a leading firm like Xpeng.\nLi Auto (LI)\nAnother Chinese EV maker that has its shares listed on a U.S. exchange is Li Auto. This company has also been an excellent performer. Somehow, though, LI stock does not get the same kind of love we see with Nio and Xpeng. Regardless, this pick of the electric vehicle stocks is a solid investment — one that is currently trading at almost half of its 52-week high.\nBased in Beijing with manufacturing facilities in Changzhou, Li Auto reported a 238.6 % year-over-year (YOY) increase for its Li ONE deliveries in March. That brought total deliveries for the first quarter to 12,579, a YOY gain of 334.4%. Expect this momentum to continue for the company.\nBut that’s not the only good thing behind Li; the Chinese EV manufacturer also has an edge because the Li-One is ahybridvehicle.\nYes, China is aggressively building out its EV capacity. However, charging stations are still somewhat sparse in China. So, in some ways Li Auto’s vehicle is a more attractive and convenient option for the middle-class consumers of the country.\nGeneral Motors (GM)\nPerhaps it seems strange that we have gotten this far without talking about any of the major U.S. companies making waves in China, apart from Tesla. Well, that’s the state of the market, unfortunately. In China, foreign companies often have a tough time making inroads.\nHowever, there are a few electric vehicle stocks that have made some progress. GM is one of those names. The iconic American carmaker actually delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, down 6.2% YOY but still an excellent return.\nAnother bright spot for GM stock is that the company’s sales recovered at a double-digit clip in the second half of last year. Chinese sales jumped 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months of 2020.\nGeneral Motors has had a long-time presence in the region, too, having joint ventures with firms like state-owned SAIC Motor Corp, for instance.\nBut let’s talk specifically about the EV part of the business. In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp and another partner, SGMW. The latter makes the Hongguang Mini EV, a popular two-door micro electric vehicle. It is the most sold EV model in China. So, with a foothold in this subsegment of the market, GM has all the incentive to move forward and expand further.\nBYD (BYDDF)\nOur next entry on this list of electric vehicle stocks is a conglomerate in every sense of the word. It has its fingers in everything from energy storage to battery-powered bicycles to buses, batteries and most recently face masks.\nAlso, unlike some of its peers on this list, the company is profitable. So, there are no surprises why Warren Buffet likes this company. Currently,Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A,NYSE:BRK-B) holds an 8.2% stake in BYD.\nBut that’s not all. In March, BYD also managed to beat out both Nio and Xpeng in sales. Nio reported delivery of 7,257 units and Xpeng sold 5,102 units last month. Meanwhile, BYD delivered over 23,000 units for the same period, raising Q1 deliveries to 53,380 vehicles. Moreover, last year, BYD unveiled several new offerings, including its Han and Tang models.\nOverall, there are plenty of positive catalysts for BYD stock. They make this one of the best electric vehicle stocks out there.\nFord (F)\nLet’s face it: Ford has been in trouble for a while. The company’s shares of all of its key markets have decreased over the last five years. However, there are silver linings that should help push this American automaker forward.\nFirstly, CEO Jim Farley has laid out an aggressive strategy of revitalizing the brand. Farley is an insider with extensive experience at the company. Plus, before his time with Ford, he worked at Toyota (NYSE:TM) and was one of the leading figures behind the company’s Scion product launch.\nFarley’s approach is paying dividends thus far. According toCNBC, the company beat Wall Street consensus earnings estimates three times in the last four quarters. Additionally, honing in on Chinese sales in 2020, the company and its joint ventures delivered 602,627 vehicles, representing 6.1% YOY growth.\nIn Q1 2021, Ford also sold 153,822 new vehiclesin China, a 73% jump from the year-ago period and the “fourth consecutive quarter of growth in the region.” Additionally, the automaker is planning to build its Mustang Mach-E in China for the first time this year.\nFor the longest time, Mustang sports cars have been imported to the Chinese market. This new move will help the automaker exploit all the momentum it has managed to generate in the Chinese market lately — just another reason why F stock is becoming a competitive entry among electric vehicle stocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":263,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":370793101,"gmtCreate":1618624611203,"gmtModify":1634291703178,"author":{"id":"3577945403783556","authorId":"3577945403783556","name":"JibChut","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa8cfb88708e8026b7e42a732e36cff0","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577945403783556","authorIdStr":"3577945403783556"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy on the way down!

Now there are sellers willing to accept $35.\nThe combination of aggressive sellers and complacent buyers could drive the price lower.\nShares ofFisker Inc.(NYSE:FSR) have broken support and could continue to trend lower.\nSupport forms when there are a large number of buyers that are looking to pay the same price for shares of stock. In this case, it was the $14.75 level. It was clear support through December and January.\nNow that level been has broken, which means the buyers who were willing to pay $14.75 have either finished or canceled their orders.\nWith this demand of the market, the stage is set for a further decline in the share price.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":363,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":347293364,"gmtCreate":1618495766958,"gmtModify":1634292537887,"author":{"id":"3577945403783556","authorId":"3577945403783556","name":"JibChut","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa8cfb88708e8026b7e42a732e36cff0","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577945403783556","authorIdStr":"3577945403783556"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nio as a strong&nbsp;#2 is good!","listText":"Nio as a strong&nbsp;#2 is good!","text":"Nio as a strong #2 is good!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/347293364","repostId":"1193545670","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1193545670","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618454983,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1193545670?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-15 10:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Electric Vehicle Stocks Betting Big on the Chinese Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1193545670","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"With 1.3 million electric vehicles sold there in 2020, China is the frontier of EVs\nSource: Shutters","content":"<p>With 1.3 million electric vehicles sold there in 2020, China is the frontier of EVs</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59bdc81d796b158d4291af2dea795a4f\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"576\"><span>Source: Shutterstock</span></p>\n<p>President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan should provide some much-needed relief. Recently, though,<i>InvestorPlace’s</i>&nbsp;Sarah Smith&nbsp;wrote an excellent piece&nbsp;on 21 companies that will especially benefit from the bill.Electric vehicle stocks&nbsp;were among the initiative’s biggest net beneficiaries.</p>\n<p>Unlike several other industries, electric vehicles (EVs) did not necessarily need a massive boost. Yes, we did have a market selloff that led to several risky EV plays losing some steam. But that was a temporary blip, one that withdrew to the background once Biden announced his plan.</p>\n<p>On Mar. 26, UBS Group released a research note&nbsp;reaffirming this view. The Swiss multinational investment bank outlined three reasons why the “EV market still has room to run.”</p>\n<p>First, while auto sales declined in 2020, global electric vehicle sales still increased by 43%. Secondly, governments around the world are enforcing tighter regulations to help EV sales increase. And finally, technological advances and a change in consumer preferences also serve as important tailwinds for the industry.</p>\n<p>That said, though, the real wild card in the equation is China. It’s now&nbsp;the world’s biggest EV market&nbsp;and has fared quite well despite the pandemic. And unsurprisingly, some of the biggest electric vehicle stocks are from there. That’s why this list has some of the biggest names in the EV space which are betting big on that market.</p>\n<p>So, without further ado, here are seven EV stocks that are focusing on China:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Nio</b>(NYSE:<b><u>NIO</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Xpeng</b>(NYSE:<b><u>XPEV</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Li Auto</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>LI</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>General Motors</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>BYD Company</b>&nbsp;(OCTMKTS:<b><u>BYDDF</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Ford</b>(NYSE:<b><u>F</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Electric Vehicle Stocks Focusing on China: Tesla (TSLA)</b></p>\n<p>Tesla has become the poster child of the equity bull market. Nevertheless, TSLA stock remains the preeminent name among electric vehicle stocks.</p>\n<p>Last year, the American electric-vehicle and clean-energy company delivered 499,550 vehicles,slightly missing its guidance&nbsp;of 500,000 vehicles. Still, that’s an excellent figure which stands head and shoulders above its peers.</p>\n<p>China was a major driver for Tesla’s growth, with sales&nbsp;more than doubling to $6.66 billion, representing almost one-fifth of Tesla’s overall sales volume.</p>\n<p>In 2019, Chinese sales represented just 12% of the overall sales pie for Tesla, so it’s certainly moving in the right direction. It also helps that&nbsp;Tesla has a local factory&nbsp;in Shanghai and that Elon Musk has enjoyed an&nbsp;excellent relationship&nbsp;with Chinese state authorities thus far.</p>\n<p>Moving forward, Tesla’s main area of concern will be making sure it maintains its top position in the Chinese market. As we will get to later in this list, there are several competitors chomping at the bit to get a slice of the overall pie.</p>\n<p><b>Nio (NIO)</b></p>\n<p>Our next entry on this list of electric vehicle stocks is NIO stock, the closest competition Tesla has in China. Unlike Elon Musk’s billion-dollar baby, Nio is extremely well entrenched in the Chinese market and enjoys a strategic relationship with the government that even Musk probably envies.</p>\n<p>At the height of the pandemic, the Chinese EV maker&nbsp;inked a $1 billion bailout&nbsp;with the city of Hefei, the capital of the Anhui province. In exchange for the cash injection, it agreed to build a new subsidiary under the name Nio China. Additionally, Nio agreed to build a facility in Hefei to serve as headquarters for the subsidiary. A steeper price, however, was that the Hefei investor group now owns 24% of Nio China.</p>\n<p>But focusing on the positives, the company does have excellent delivery numbers. For example, there were&nbsp;7,257 vehicle deliveries in March, bringing total deliveries for the quarter to 20,060, a new record. This marks a continuation of the company’s excellent performance since. All in all, Nio has delivered stellar quarterly results for quite some time now.</p>\n<p><b>Xpeng (XPEV)</b></p>\n<p>Next up on this list of electric vehicle stocks is XPEV stock.</p>\n<p>Although Nio had a great quarter, Xpeng stole a majority of the headlines. In the first quarter of 2021, the company&nbsp;delivered 13,340 vehicles, beating its guidance of 12,500 for the period. Moreover, there were 5,102 deliveries split almost evenly between the company’s P7 sedan and G3 SUV in March.</p>\n<p>Much like its other Chinese counterparts, Xpeng is having a ball of a time. Its sales numbers remain steady while loss declines on the road to profitability. In Q4, the&nbsp;net loss came in at 787.4 million yuan&nbsp;($120.7 million) versus a 1.15 billion yuan deficit in the third quarter and a 997.1 million yuan loss in Q4 2019.</p>\n<p>With Xpeng’s performance continuing in this explosive manner, it’s only a matter of time before we see positive earnings per share (EPS) numbers. What’s more, much like Nio, the company has a strong connection with the Chinese government. It recently&nbsp;received $76.9 million&nbsp;from the Guangdong provincial government.</p>\n<p>Much like the other provinces in the country, Guangdong wants to accelerate the shift towards electric cars. What better way to do that than partnering up with a leading firm like Xpeng.</p>\n<p><b>Li Auto (LI)</b></p>\n<p>Another Chinese EV maker that has its shares listed on a U.S. exchange is Li Auto. This company has also been an excellent performer. Somehow, though, LI stock does not get the same kind of love we see with Nio and Xpeng. Regardless, this pick of the electric vehicle stocks is a solid investment — one that is currently trading at almost half of its 52-week high.</p>\n<p>Based in Beijing with manufacturing facilities in Changzhou, Li Auto reported a&nbsp;238.6 % year-over-year (YOY) increase&nbsp;for its Li ONE deliveries in March. That brought total deliveries for the first quarter to 12,579, a YOY gain of 334.4%. Expect this momentum to continue for the company.</p>\n<p>But that’s not the only good thing behind Li; the Chinese EV manufacturer also has an edge because the Li-One is a<i>hybrid</i>vehicle.</p>\n<p>Yes, China is aggressively building out its EV capacity. However, charging stations are still somewhat sparse in China. So, in some ways Li Auto’s vehicle is a more attractive and convenient option for the middle-class consumers of the country.</p>\n<p><b>General Motors (GM)</b></p>\n<p>Perhaps it seems strange that we have gotten this far without talking about any of the major U.S. companies making waves in China, apart from Tesla. Well, that’s the state of the market, unfortunately. In China, foreign companies often have a tough time making inroads.</p>\n<p>However, there are a few electric vehicle stocks that have made some progress. GM is one of those names. The iconic American carmaker actually&nbsp;delivered 2.9 million vehicles&nbsp;in the country last year, down 6.2% YOY but still an excellent return.</p>\n<p>Another bright spot for GM stock is that the company’s sales recovered at a double-digit clip in the second half of last year. Chinese sales jumped 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months of 2020.</p>\n<p>General Motors has had a long-time presence in the region, too, having&nbsp;joint ventures&nbsp;with firms like state-owned&nbsp;<b>SAIC Motor Corp</b>, for instance.</p>\n<p>But let’s talk specifically about the EV part of the business. In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp and another partner, SGMW. The latter makes the Hongguang Mini EV, a popular two-door micro electric vehicle. It is the&nbsp;most sold EV model in China. So, with a foothold in this subsegment of the market, GM has all the incentive to move forward and expand further.</p>\n<p><b>BYD (BYDDF)</b></p>\n<p>Our next entry on this list of electric vehicle stocks is a conglomerate in every sense of the word. It has its fingers in everything from energy storage to battery-powered bicycles to buses, batteries and most recently face masks.</p>\n<p>Also, unlike some of its peers on this list, the company is profitable. So, there are no surprises why Warren Buffet likes this company. Currently,<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BRK-A</u></b>,NYSE:<b><u>BRK-B</u></b>) holds an 8.2% stake in BYD.</p>\n<p>But that’s not all. In March, BYD also managed to beat out both Nio and Xpeng in sales. Nio reported delivery of 7,257 units and Xpeng sold 5,102 units last month. Meanwhile, BYD delivered&nbsp;over 23,000 units&nbsp;for the same period, raising Q1 deliveries to 53,380 vehicles. Moreover, last year, BYD unveiled several new offerings, including its&nbsp;Han&nbsp;and Tang models.</p>\n<p>Overall, there are plenty of positive catalysts for BYD stock. They make this one of the best electric vehicle stocks out there.</p>\n<p><b>Ford</b>&nbsp;<b>(F)</b></p>\n<p>Let’s face it: Ford has been in trouble for a while. The company’s shares of all of its key markets have decreased over the last five years. However, there are silver linings that should help push this American automaker forward.</p>\n<p>Firstly, CEO Jim Farley has laid out an aggressive strategy of revitalizing the brand. Farley is an insider with extensive experience at the company. Plus, before his time with Ford, he worked at&nbsp;<b>Toyota</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>TM</u></b>) and was one of the leading figures behind the company’s Scion product launch.</p>\n<p>Farley’s approach is paying dividends thus far. According to<i>CNBC</i>, the company beat Wall Street consensus earnings estimates&nbsp;three times in the last four quarters. Additionally, honing in on Chinese sales in 2020, the company and its joint ventures&nbsp;delivered 602,627 vehicles, representing 6.1% YOY growth.</p>\n<p>In Q1 2021, Ford also&nbsp;sold 153,822 new vehiclesin China, a 73% jump from the year-ago period and the “fourth consecutive quarter of growth in the region.” Additionally, the automaker is&nbsp;planning to build&nbsp;its Mustang Mach-E in China for the first time this year.</p>\n<p>For the longest time, Mustang sports cars have been imported to the Chinese market. This new move will help the automaker exploit all the momentum it has managed to generate in the Chinese market lately — just another reason why F stock is becoming a competitive entry among electric vehicle stocks.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>7 Electric Vehicle Stocks Betting Big on the Chinese Market</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n7 Electric Vehicle Stocks Betting Big on the Chinese Market\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-15 10:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/seven-electric-vehicle-stocks-betting-big-china-market/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>With 1.3 million electric vehicles sold there in 2020, China is the frontier of EVs\nSource: Shutterstock\nPresident Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan should provide some much-needed relief. ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/04/seven-electric-vehicle-stocks-betting-big-china-market/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NIO":"蔚来","002594":"比亚迪","01211":"比亚迪股份","GM":"通用汽车","F":"福特汽车","BYDDF":"BYD Co., Ltd.","XPEV":"小鹏汽车","LI":"理想汽车","TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/04/seven-electric-vehicle-stocks-betting-big-china-market/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1193545670","content_text":"With 1.3 million electric vehicles sold there in 2020, China is the frontier of EVs\nSource: Shutterstock\nPresident Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan should provide some much-needed relief.

(NIO), I reached a target price of at least, $80 using a DCF model. I also mentioned there are some key areas, which are hard to quantify, that make NIO a compelling investment. Today I expand on these ideas, focusing on BaaS, NIO’s CEO, and the company’s overall marketing approach. These ideas are hard to put into numbers, but, in my opinion, prove that NIO has a bright future.</p><p><b>BaaS: Stronger Than Ever</b></p><p>NIO and Chinese state-owned oil and gas giant Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (SHI)announced on Thursdaythe signing of a strategic partnership to build battery swap stations. Both companies posted news of their agreement on their Twitter feeds while sharing images of the unveiling of their new battery swap station 2.0 at Chaoying station in Beijing, which has now begun operating. It is the first second-generation battery swap station for the Chinese EV manufacturer, and its 201st overall, since the first was inaugurated in 2018.</p><p>Although the details and scale of the deal with NIO are not clear yet, Sinopec has stated that they aim to have 5,000 battery swap stations in their network by 2025, as they aim to transition to a higher presence in electricity and non-oil business. On NIO's side, the company’s goal, which it has described as conservative, is to have 500 battery swap stations by the end of 2021.</p><p>This is the largest so far, but not the only partnership of NIO’s in this space. A few weeks ago, NIO reached an agreement with another state-owned infrastructure company, Beijing Shoufa, to build stations in the Beijing area. NIO president Qin Lihong said on Thursday that they are aiming to add nearly 100 more third-party partners this year.</p><p>The idea of battery swap stations is that consumers can drive into the station with an uncharged battery and have it automatically replaced by a fully charged one in just a few minutes. The 2.0 version of these allows drivers to complete the battery swap without leaving their car and can perform up to 312 swaps per day.</p><p>A mass rollout of these stations is a key part of NIO’s BaaS strategy (battery as a service). With this model, customers do not purchase the battery with the car and own it, but rather pay a subscription fee to “rent” charged batteries and replace them as they become uncharged. By not including the battery, the initial purchase price of the vehicle is reduced by up to almost 20,000 USD. As more and more swap stations are deployed, the convenience gap between electric and petrol-fuelled vehicles could gradually disappear.</p><p>NIO is not alone in the battery swapping business, nor did it invent it. Israeli start-up Better Place tried to develop the concept in collaboration with Renault(OTC:RNSDF)in 2007 without much success. Today, a handful of companies around the globe are trying to deploy such systems, like Blue Park Smart Energy, a competitor in China with government influence, or American start-up Ample, which has begun operating several such stations in California, catering for fleet vehicles.</p><p>Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) started with the idea of battery swapping in 2013 but abandoned the program in 2016 in favour of its superchargers. At the time, it may have appeared like the right strategy given the limited amount of EV’s on the road. Superchargers are much more efficient than regular ones, achieving a range of up to 200 miles in 15 minutes, and they are smaller and much easier to deploy than battery swap stations. This has allowed Tesla to provide over 20,000 superchargers to its customers around the world. However, with EV presence increasing fast, the economies of scale may cause a shift in which is the most efficient of the two solutions.</p><p>It remains to be seen what will happen with regards to the standardization of these battery swaps, as for now, customers can only swap batteries at their manufacturer’s station.</p><p>Though not the creator of the technology, NIO appears to be moving fastest towards dominating what could be the future of EV refueling, and it could be shaping up as a supplier of BaaS services to other manufacturers, increasing the scope of its business within the industry. The company already has an agreement with Ford Motor Company (F) to allow their Mustang-E in China touse these battery swappingstations too.</p><p>This step sets NIO apart from the competition and puts it on the road to be much more than an EV manufacturer, by also becoming a supplier of critical infrastructure in what will soon be the largest economy in the world.</p><p><b>Remarkable Management</b></p><p>One thing we don't hear a lot about is NIO's management. In the classic China v U.S battle it’s easy to assume that the American companies are the ones bringing innovation and cutting-edge ideas, while the Chinese can only compete in lower production costs through cheaper labour. But the Chinese culture and economy also reward entrepreneurship, and no more proof is needed than the fact that Beijing now boasts themost billionaires of any cityin the world.</p><p>NIO's CEO, William Li, is also an example of this. He went to Pekin University, perhaps the most prestigious one in China, and majored in sociology. However, he also studied law and computer science and became the only systems analyst among the liberal art students of Pekin University.</p><p>Li started his first business at 21 but found real success four years later with Bitauto Holdings Limited (BITA), which is a portal that provides consumers with in-depth information about cars. He was the CEO of Bitauto from 2005-2013, during which time the company went public and achieved over $1 billion valuations. In 2014, Li started NIO, and here we are today.</p><p>What I like the most about Li, is that he has experience in the automobile sector. In fact, he may have acquired the most important experience of all; knowing what the consumer wants.</p><p>Li has a proven track record of success and laser focus on NIO. I think it is this understanding of the consumer which will position NIO on a different level to its competition. Much like Apple Inc. (AAPL), NIO is investing in creating a differentiated product and building a strong community.</p><p><b>Doing Things The Apple Way</b></p><p>Following on from the previous point, I think NIO is positioning itself very well in terms of consumer demand. Vehicles, like phones, are a statement about who you are, and NIO is building a brand that people can identify with. Li has already stated that he views Audi(OTCPK:AUDVF)and BMW(OTCPK:BMWYY)as their real competition. In other words, luxury cars. Interestingly, luxury brands outperformed mainstream models in 2020, capturing 44$ of the market share, compared to 40% the year before. While Tesla, for example, islowering the priceof its cars NIO has kept its prices steady and is clearly tackling the high-end of the market through some key measures.</p><p>First and foremost, the implementation of BaaS offers a lot of value and convenience, especially in crowded Chinese cities. Also, NIO has been rolling out models aggressively. The company already has the EC6, ES6, ES8, and ET7 on the market. Notice too how the models are named sequentially, using clear language. This gives consumers the option of choice and easy comparability. Can you think of another company that does this?</p><p>Also, NIO is taking the Apple store concept to the next level.

(NIO), I reached a target price of at least, $80 using a DCF model. I also mentioned there are some key areas, which are hard to quantify, that make NIO a compelling investment. Today I expand on these ideas, focusing on BaaS, NIO’s CEO, and the company’s overall marketing approach. These ideas are hard to put into numbers, but, in my opinion, prove that NIO has a bright future.BaaS: Stronger Than EverNIO and Chinese state-owned oil and gas giant Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (SHI)announced on Thursdaythe signing of a strategic partnership to build battery swap stations. Both companies posted news of their agreement on their Twitter feeds while sharing images of the unveiling of their new battery swap station 2.0 at Chaoying station in Beijing, which has now begun operating. It is the first second-generation battery swap station for the Chinese EV manufacturer, and its 201st overall, since the first was inaugurated in 2018.Although the details and scale of the deal with NIO are not clear yet, Sinopec has stated that they aim to have 5,000 battery swap stations in their network by 2025, as they aim to transition to a higher presence in electricity and non-oil business. On NIO's side, the company’s goal, which it has described as conservative, is to have 500 battery swap stations by the end of 2021.This is the largest so far, but not the only partnership of NIO’s in this space. A few weeks ago, NIO reached an agreement with another state-owned infrastructure company, Beijing Shoufa, to build stations in the Beijing area. NIO president Qin Lihong said on Thursday that they are aiming to add nearly 100 more third-party partners this year.The idea of battery swap stations is that consumers can drive into the station with an uncharged battery and have it automatically replaced by a fully charged one in just a few minutes. The 2.0 version of these allows drivers to complete the battery swap without leaving their car and can perform up to 312 swaps per day.A mass rollout of these stations is a key part of NIO’s BaaS strategy (battery as a service). With this model, customers do not purchase the battery with the car and own it, but rather pay a subscription fee to “rent” charged batteries and replace them as they become uncharged. By not including the battery, the initial purchase price of the vehicle is reduced by up to almost 20,000 USD. As more and more swap stations are deployed, the convenience gap between electric and petrol-fuelled vehicles could gradually disappear.NIO is not alone in the battery swapping business, nor did it invent it. Israeli start-up Better Place tried to develop the concept in collaboration with Renault(OTC:RNSDF)in 2007 without much success. Today, a handful of companies around the globe are trying to deploy such systems, like Blue Park Smart Energy, a competitor in China with government influence, or American start-up Ample, which has begun operating several such stations in California, catering for fleet vehicles.Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) started with the idea of battery swapping in 2013 but abandoned the program in 2016 in favour of its superchargers. At the time, it may have appeared like the right strategy given the limited amount of EV’s on the road. Superchargers are much more efficient than regular ones, achieving a range of up to 200 miles in 15 minutes, and they are smaller and much easier to deploy than battery swap stations. This has allowed Tesla to provide over 20,000 superchargers to its customers around the world. However, with EV presence increasing fast, the economies of scale may cause a shift in which is the most efficient of the two solutions.It remains to be seen what will happen with regards to the standardization of these battery swaps, as for now, customers can only swap batteries at their manufacturer’s station.Though not the creator of the technology, NIO appears to be moving fastest towards dominating what could be the future of EV refueling, and it could be shaping up as a supplier of BaaS services to other manufacturers, increasing the scope of its business within the industry. The company already has an agreement with Ford Motor Company (F) to allow their Mustang-E in China touse these battery swappingstations too.This step sets NIO apart from the competition and puts it on the road to be much more than an EV manufacturer, by also becoming a supplier of critical infrastructure in what will soon be the largest economy in the world.Remarkable ManagementOne thing we don't hear a lot about is NIO's management. In the classic China v U.S battle it’s easy to assume that the American companies are the ones bringing innovation and cutting-edge ideas, while the Chinese can only compete in lower production costs through cheaper labour. But the Chinese culture and economy also reward entrepreneurship, and no more proof is needed than the fact that Beijing now boasts themost billionaires of any cityin the world.NIO's CEO, William Li, is also an example of this. He went to Pekin University, perhaps the most prestigious one in China, and majored in sociology. However, he also studied law and computer science and became the only systems analyst among the liberal art students of Pekin University.Li started his first business at 21 but found real success four years later with Bitauto Holdings Limited (BITA), which is a portal that provides consumers with in-depth information about cars. He was the CEO of Bitauto from 2005-2013, during which time the company went public and achieved over $1 billion valuations. In 2014, Li started NIO, and here we are today.What I like the most about Li, is that he has experience in the automobile sector. In fact, he may have acquired the most important experience of all; knowing what the consumer wants.Li has a proven track record of success and laser focus on NIO. I think it is this understanding of the consumer which will position NIO on a different level to its competition. Much like Apple Inc. (AAPL), NIO is investing in creating a differentiated product and building a strong community.Doing Things The Apple WayFollowing on from the previous point, I think NIO is positioning itself very well in terms of consumer demand. Vehicles, like phones, are a statement about who you are, and NIO is building a brand that people can identify with. Li has already stated that he views Audi(OTCPK:AUDVF)and BMW(OTCPK:BMWYY)as their real competition. In other words, luxury cars. Interestingly, luxury brands outperformed mainstream models in 2020, capturing 44$ of the market share, compared to 40% the year before. While Tesla, for example, islowering the priceof its cars NIO has kept its prices steady and is clearly tackling the high-end of the market through some key measures.First and foremost, the implementation of BaaS offers a lot of value and convenience, especially in crowded Chinese cities. Also, NIO has been rolling out models aggressively. The company already has the EC6, ES6, ES8, and ET7 on the market. Notice too how the models are named sequentially, using clear language. This gives consumers the option of choice and easy comparability. Can you think of another company that does this?Also, NIO is taking the Apple store concept to the next level. Anyone who owns or has pre-ordered a NIO getsaccess to NIO Houses. At their core level, these are convenient charging locations, but these spaces are also designed as exclusive lounge areas, office spaces, and anything the customer wants. Lastly, to reinforce this idea of an exclusive club, NIO has its own App too.So NIO has a very clearly defined strategy of targeting the luxury segment and creating a community of devoted fans, much like Apple. Given the fact thatChina is creating millionaires fasterthan any other country, I think this is a solid strategy.TakeawayIn conclusion, NIO has key factors coming into play that make it a compelling investment. Their BaaS model has the potential to bring in significant revenue, and I like the direction William Li is taking the company. He seems to know what consumers want, and that is in any business the most important factor. I remain bullish on NIO and stand by themost recent valuationI made of the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":319,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370792039,"gmtCreate":1618624922321,"gmtModify":1634291699821,"author":{"id":"3577945403783556","authorId":"3577945403783556","name":"JibChut","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa8cfb88708e8026b7e42a732e36cff0","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577945403783556","authorIdStr":"3577945403783556"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy!

Many see them as cheap, based on 2019 results. Others see them greatly exceeding those results due to pent-up demand.</p>\n<p>It’s a dream you can feel. Roads are crowded again. Plus, savings rates were high during the pandemic for those who had jobs they could do from home. Much of that money will be spent this year with the economic reopening.</p>\n<p>Travel companies should benefit from both efficiency and rising prices post-pandemic. But which stocks are right for you? For this article, I’ve looked at eight of the best-known names. My views on them vary. Generally, I think the companies that were strongest going in should be stronger coming out. Other companies are speculative and have already had good runs through early 2021.</p>\n<p>But I’m just the writer. You’re the decider. There should be profits coming throughout the sector, but your mileage as an investor will vary with where you decide to put your money.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Southwest Airlines</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LUV</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Airbnb</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ABNB</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Disney</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DIS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Royal Caribbean</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RCL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Delta Air Lines</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DAL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Tripadvisor</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TRIP</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>United Airlines</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>UAL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Carnival</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CCL</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Southwest (LUV):&nbsp; The Strongest Airline</b></p>\n<p>The strongest airline going into the pandemic was&nbsp;<b>Southwest Airlines</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>LUV</u></b>). It’s also the strongest one&nbsp;coming out of it.</p>\n<p>But analysts know this. That’s part of why Southwest is also the most expensive airline stock. Its price of about $62 per share today is above where it was before the pandemic hit, before it suspended its 18 cent quarterly dividend.</p>\n<p>LUV stock is strong because, while it added $9 billion in long-term debt to its balance sheet during 2020, it ended the year with $13 billion in cash. It has also already begun&nbsp;calling back pilots&nbsp;for the summer flying season.</p>\n<p>One of the biggest risks in the stock before the pandemic, though, was Southwest’s dependence on&nbsp;<b>Boeing</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BA</u></b>) aircraft, especially the troubled 737-MAX. The company has doubled down on that this year,ordering 100 more&nbsp;of the planes. CEO Gary Kelly says he has&nbsp;complete faith&nbsp;in the aircraft, but some have already been&nbsp;grounded again&nbsp;after Boeing reported electrical problems.</p>\n<p>That said, Southwest is also changing its route structure post-pandemic, focusing on smaller vacation markets like Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and&nbsp;dramatically increasing&nbsp;the number of flights to Austin, Texas. It’s this ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions that makes Southwest one of the best reopening stocks to buy for post-pandemic growth.</p>\n<p><b>Is Airbnb (ABNB) the New King of Travel?</b></p>\n<p>Before the pandemic,<b>Booking Holdings</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>BKNG</u></b>), which began life as Priceline, was&nbsp;the unquestioned king&nbsp;of the travel market. However, there’s a new king in the post-pandemic era: Airbnb.</p>\n<p>Airbnb only came public in 2020, but ABNB stock rocketed out of the gate. Shares were offered&nbsp;at $68 each. However, they started trading at $146 on Dec. 10. Since then, they’re up another 21%, even after investors took profit when they briefly rose over $200 per share in February.</p>\n<p>But Airbnb may now be overvalued. Currently, it has a market capitalization of $107 billion on 2020 sales of $3.4 billion. Even if you write that year off, its selling at over 22 times its 2019 revenue of $4.8 billion.</p>\n<p>Airbnb specializes in renting out bedrooms, apartments and personal homes. That’s the promise. But as the company has grown, professionals and investors have moved in. Just 5% of owners now control&nbsp;one-third&nbsp;of all listings. Additionally, some cities are fighting Airbnb. This strict regulation,especially in tourist cities, could dramatically slow its growth.</p>\n<p>Rivals aren’t sitting on their hands, either. Booking has a comparable&nbsp;version&nbsp;of Airbnb and&nbsp;<b>Expedia</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>EXPE</u></b>) is heavily advertising its version, Vrbo. Plus, Airbnb’s new “Experiences” business, which some analysts consider to be a&nbsp;growth catalyst, is a copy of something Tripadvisor&nbsp;has been doing&nbsp;for years.</p>\n<p>It’s possible that this company will keep rising as one of the reopening stocks. It’s also possible it won’t.</p>\n<p><b>Travel Gives Disney (DIS) a Second Stage of Growth</b></p>\n<p>Disney has been a&nbsp;standout during the pandemic. Shares of DIS stock are up 77% over the past one year, thanks mainly to the success of its streaming strategy. It now has&nbsp;some 137 million&nbsp;paying customers across its various streaming services like Hulu, ESPN+ and&nbsp;Disney+.</p>\n<p>Now, it’s possible that travel will add a second stage to Disney’s rocketing success. Before the pandemic, its travel and resorts business represented some 40% of the company’s revenue. Most of that was shut down in early 2020. Now, though, it’s coming back. As it does, revenue should quickly recover from the&nbsp;22% hit&nbsp;Disney suffered in 2020.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, many analysts think those gains&nbsp;may already be in the stock. Shares were hit by profit-taking in&nbsp;early 2021&nbsp;and now trade below their February highs.</p>\n<p>Still, if you’re looking for long-term value, most analysts still believe in Disney as one of the reopening stocks. Of the 20 analysts following it at&nbsp;<i>Tipranks,</i>17 say&nbsp;it’s a buy.<b>Bank of America</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BAC</u></b>) is especially optimistic, despite the shares now trading for&nbsp;about 135 times&nbsp;levered annual cash flow. It was selling at around 25 times before the pandemic hit.</p>\n<p><b>Royal Caribbean (RCL) Is the Most Investable Cruise Line</b></p>\n<p>During the latter part of the last decade, Royal Caribbean chose to grow its fleet of ships at a sustainable rate. It’s now benefitting from that strategy, becoming the most“investable”of the cruise line stocks. Right now, shares of RCL stock are up 125% for the past one year, as optimism grows for reopening stocks.</p>\n<p>Royal Caribbean owns Celebrity and Silversea cruises as well as its namesake fleet. It completed the purchase of Silversea last year, then sold Azamara, a luxury brand,to private equity. It also took a Spanish line called Pullmantur bankrupt and hopes to relaunch it later this year.</p>\n<p>While the company’s net debt rose 42% during 2020&nbsp;to $16.45 billion, the company had $4.4 billion in cash at the end of December. It’s also loaning $40 million&nbsp;to travel agents&nbsp;to get them through and hopes to return to full U.S. service&nbsp;by November. Meanwhile, pent-up demand is so great that it’s already filling ships in Singapore for“cruises to nowhere.”</p>\n<p><b>Delta (DAL) Has Yet to Regain Its Highs</b></p>\n<p>While Southwest now sells for more than it did before the pandemic, shares of Delta Air Lines&nbsp;remain&nbsp;about 20% below&nbsp;where they were. Today, DAL stock trades for almost $47.</p>\n<p>That’s because, while domestic travel is starting to return to normal and Delta&nbsp;plans on filling its middle seats&nbsp;in May, international travel remains slow. Even domestic travel is running on optimism. About 1.6 million people flew one day&nbsp;in early April. Before the pandemic, back in 2019, that number was well over 2 million on the same day.</p>\n<p>Despite the government’s turning some of its pandemic loans into grants, Delta ended 2020 with&nbsp;$33 billion in long term debt, against assets of $71 billion. Moreover, Delta had an&nbsp;adjusted loss&nbsp;of $3.55 per share for its first-quarter earnings.</p>\n<p>Once Delta has positive free cash flow again,<i>InvestorPlace’s</i>&nbsp;Mark Hake expects the stock to&nbsp;take off. Most analysts don’t, however. Now, only about half the analysts tracked by&nbsp;<i>Tipranks</i>&nbsp;call it&nbsp;a buy, with an average price target of $56.50.</p>\n<p>All in all, while Delta has&nbsp;survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.</p>\n<p>All in all, while Delta has&nbsp;survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.</p>\n<p><b>Trip Advisor (TRIP) Has a Plan for the New Normal</b></p>\n<p>Tripadvisor has a plan for big profits in the post-pandemic world. Basically, it wants to become the&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) of travel.</p>\n<p>That doesn’t mean running the whole travel business. Instead, it means charging customers $99 per year for special discounts and perks on rooms. It calls this&nbsp;new program&nbsp;Tripadvisor Plus.</p>\n<p>This idea could be a win-win-win. Hotels and resorts will get loyal customers at a discount. Customers who sign up will get discounts and perks. And Tripadvisor will get cash for running the program.</p>\n<p>Right now, though, the company badly needs investors to forget 2020, when it lost $2.14 per share on revenue of just $604 million. Rather, it wants them to remember 2019, when the company made $126 million, or 91 cents per share, on&nbsp;revenue of $1.56 billion. Essentially, they want a mulligan for the past year.</p>\n<p>But 2020&nbsp;<i>did happen</i>— and it did substantial financial damage at that. That said, while 2021 should start off slow, results should also rise sharply once the new program’s revenues start coming in. So, if you believe in it’s new program’s pitch, TRIP stock maybe one of the better reopening stocks for you.</p>\n<p><b>Speculators Are Now Betting on United Airlines (UAL)</b></p>\n<p>Investment often reminds me of westward migration; the speculators come in first, then come the investors. Right now, UAL stock is&nbsp;benefitting from speculation.</p>\n<p>While Southwest Airlines has passed its 2020 high and Delta Air Lines&nbsp;is approaching it, United is just halfway back. Its market cap of $18 billion is less than half its 2019 revenue of&nbsp;$43 billion.</p>\n<p>The airline should survive, but it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Analysts expect a&nbsp;first-quarter loss&nbsp;of $6.23 per share.

Many see them as cheap, based on 2019 results. Others see them greatly exceeding those results due to pent-up demand.\nIt’s a dream you can feel. Roads are crowded again. Plus, savings rates were high during the pandemic for those who had jobs they could do from home. Much of that money will be spent this year with the economic reopening.\nTravel companies should benefit from both efficiency and rising prices post-pandemic. But which stocks are right for you? For this article, I’ve looked at eight of the best-known names. My views on them vary. Generally, I think the companies that were strongest going in should be stronger coming out. Other companies are speculative and have already had good runs through early 2021.\nBut I’m just the writer. You’re the decider. There should be profits coming throughout the sector, but your mileage as an investor will vary with where you decide to put your money.\n\nSouthwest Airlines(NYSE:LUV)\nAirbnb(NASDAQ:ABNB)\nDisney(NYSE:DIS)\nRoyal Caribbean(NYSE:RCL)\nDelta Air Lines(NYSE:DAL)\nTripadvisor(NASDAQ:TRIP)\nUnited Airlines(NASDAQ:UAL)\nCarnival(NYSE:CCL)\n\nSouthwest (LUV):  The Strongest Airline\nThe strongest airline going into the pandemic was Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV). It’s also the strongest one coming out of it.\nBut analysts know this. That’s part of why Southwest is also the most expensive airline stock. Its price of about $62 per share today is above where it was before the pandemic hit, before it suspended its 18 cent quarterly dividend.\nLUV stock is strong because, while it added $9 billion in long-term debt to its balance sheet during 2020, it ended the year with $13 billion in cash. It has also already begun calling back pilots for the summer flying season.\nOne of the biggest risks in the stock before the pandemic, though, was Southwest’s dependence on Boeing (NYSE:BA) aircraft, especially the troubled 737-MAX. The company has doubled down on that this year,ordering 100 more of the planes. CEO Gary Kelly says he has complete faith in the aircraft, but some have already been grounded again after Boeing reported electrical problems.\nThat said, Southwest is also changing its route structure post-pandemic, focusing on smaller vacation markets like Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and dramatically increasing the number of flights to Austin, Texas. It’s this ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions that makes Southwest one of the best reopening stocks to buy for post-pandemic growth.\nIs Airbnb (ABNB) the New King of Travel?\nBefore the pandemic,Booking Holdings (NASDAQ:BKNG), which began life as Priceline, was the unquestioned king of the travel market. However, there’s a new king in the post-pandemic era: Airbnb.\nAirbnb only came public in 2020, but ABNB stock rocketed out of the gate. Shares were offered at $68 each. However, they started trading at $146 on Dec. 10. Since then, they’re up another 21%, even after investors took profit when they briefly rose over $200 per share in February.\nBut Airbnb may now be overvalued. Currently, it has a market capitalization of $107 billion on 2020 sales of $3.4 billion. Even if you write that year off, its selling at over 22 times its 2019 revenue of $4.8 billion.\nAirbnb specializes in renting out bedrooms, apartments and personal homes. That’s the promise. But as the company has grown, professionals and investors have moved in. Just 5% of owners now control one-third of all listings. Additionally, some cities are fighting Airbnb. This strict regulation,especially in tourist cities, could dramatically slow its growth.\nRivals aren’t sitting on their hands, either. Booking has a comparable version of Airbnb and Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE) is heavily advertising its version, Vrbo. Plus, Airbnb’s new “Experiences” business, which some analysts consider to be a growth catalyst, is a copy of something Tripadvisor has been doing for years.\nIt’s possible that this company will keep rising as one of the reopening stocks. It’s also possible it won’t.\nTravel Gives Disney (DIS) a Second Stage of Growth\nDisney has been a standout during the pandemic. Shares of DIS stock are up 77% over the past one year, thanks mainly to the success of its streaming strategy. It now has some 137 million paying customers across its various streaming services like Hulu, ESPN+ and Disney+.\nNow, it’s possible that travel will add a second stage to Disney’s rocketing success. Before the pandemic, its travel and resorts business represented some 40% of the company’s revenue. Most of that was shut down in early 2020. Now, though, it’s coming back. As it does, revenue should quickly recover from the 22% hit Disney suffered in 2020.\nUnfortunately, many analysts think those gains may already be in the stock. Shares were hit by profit-taking in early 2021 and now trade below their February highs.\nStill, if you’re looking for long-term value, most analysts still believe in Disney as one of the reopening stocks. Of the 20 analysts following it at Tipranks,17 say it’s a buy.Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) is especially optimistic, despite the shares now trading for about 135 times levered annual cash flow. It was selling at around 25 times before the pandemic hit.\nRoyal Caribbean (RCL) Is the Most Investable Cruise Line\nDuring the latter part of the last decade, Royal Caribbean chose to grow its fleet of ships at a sustainable rate. It’s now benefitting from that strategy, becoming the most“investable”of the cruise line stocks. Right now, shares of RCL stock are up 125% for the past one year, as optimism grows for reopening stocks.\nRoyal Caribbean owns Celebrity and Silversea cruises as well as its namesake fleet. It completed the purchase of Silversea last year, then sold Azamara, a luxury brand,to private equity. It also took a Spanish line called Pullmantur bankrupt and hopes to relaunch it later this year.\nWhile the company’s net debt rose 42% during 2020 to $16.45 billion, the company had $4.4 billion in cash at the end of December. It’s also loaning $40 million to travel agents to get them through and hopes to return to full U.S. service by November. Meanwhile, pent-up demand is so great that it’s already filling ships in Singapore for“cruises to nowhere.”\nDelta (DAL) Has Yet to Regain Its Highs\nWhile Southwest now sells for more than it did before the pandemic, shares of Delta Air Lines remain about 20% below where they were. Today, DAL stock trades for almost $47.\nThat’s because, while domestic travel is starting to return to normal and Delta plans on filling its middle seats in May, international travel remains slow. Even domestic travel is running on optimism. About 1.6 million people flew one day in early April. Before the pandemic, back in 2019, that number was well over 2 million on the same day.\nDespite the government’s turning some of its pandemic loans into grants, Delta ended 2020 with $33 billion in long term debt, against assets of $71 billion. Moreover, Delta had an adjusted loss of $3.55 per share for its first-quarter earnings.\nOnce Delta has positive free cash flow again,InvestorPlace’s Mark Hake expects the stock to take off. Most analysts don’t, however. Now, only about half the analysts tracked by Tipranks call it a buy, with an average price target of $56.50.\nAll in all, while Delta has survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.\nAll in all, while Delta has survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.\nTrip Advisor (TRIP) Has a Plan for the New Normal\nTripadvisor has a plan for big profits in the post-pandemic world. Basically, it wants to become the Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) of travel.\nThat doesn’t mean running the whole travel business. Instead, it means charging customers $99 per year for special discounts and perks on rooms. It calls this new program Tripadvisor Plus.\nThis idea could be a win-win-win. Hotels and resorts will get loyal customers at a discount. Customers who sign up will get discounts and perks. And Tripadvisor will get cash for running the program.\nRight now, though, the company badly needs investors to forget 2020, when it lost $2.14 per share on revenue of just $604 million. Rather, it wants them to remember 2019, when the company made $126 million, or 91 cents per share, on revenue of $1.56 billion. Essentially, they want a mulligan for the past year.\nBut 2020 did happen— and it did substantial financial damage at that. That said, while 2021 should start off slow, results should also rise sharply once the new program’s revenues start coming in. So, if you believe in it’s new program’s pitch, TRIP stock maybe one of the better reopening stocks for you.\nSpeculators Are Now Betting on United Airlines (UAL)\nInvestment often reminds me of westward migration; the speculators come in first, then come the investors. Right now, UAL stock is benefitting from speculation.\nWhile Southwest Airlines has passed its 2020 high and Delta Air Lines is approaching it, United is just halfway back. Its market cap of $18 billion is less than half its 2019 revenue of $43 billion.\nThe airline should survive, but it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Analysts expect a first-quarter loss of $6.23 per share. The airline’s bond rating is also below investment grade and its most recent debt issue carried an interest rate of 4.875%. Still, speculators have been rushing in as the airline said it was probably cash flow positive in March.\nGoing beyond speculative gains, however, will mean regaining the trust of employees, the government and passengers, which was not helped by an engineblowing out back in February.\nAs a result, analysts are divided on United, with only about half of them saying it’s a buy on Tipranks. Even InvestorPlace’s Louis Navellier calls this one of the reopening stocks“a poor way to make money.”\nWill Cruising Resume Soon Enough for Carnival (CCL)?\nOf all the reopening stocks on this list, CCL stock stands out as a cautionary tale.\nBefore the pandemic, Carnival was buying boats with both hands, planning to add 22 new liners by 2025. Basically, it was putting all of its cash flow to work.\nThen the music stopped. While based in Miami, Carnival has its legal home in Panama. This made it ineligible for pandemic relief. It was only thanks to the Federal Reserve’s expansion of the money supply that Carnival was able to survive. But the price was steep. One $4 billion bond carries an interest rate of 11.5%, while another $1.75 billion bond is convertible into stock, diluting shareholders.\nNow in April, though, shares are back to around $28 with a market cap of $32 billion after 2019 revenue of $20.8 billion. That’s still less than the $57 billion in assets it carries on the books, mainly in the form of “property and equipment” like its boats.\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now believes cruising could resume this summer. That should save Carnival the company. But it still leaves precious little for shareholders of CCL stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":386,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
